I share your frustration regarding the RAGBRAI app. Every time I try to open it it immediately closes! Deleted the app and downloaded it again – still same issue.
DenBiker replied to the topic Wristband arrival? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year ago
As expected, our packet arrived today. Wristbands and vehicle permit all in hand! It might be noted that none of our team ordered any merchandise so the lack of it may have expedited our delivery.
DenBiker replied to the topic Wristband arrival? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year ago
Our Packet is due here later today. I did get a tracking number but not from RAGBRAI. We subscribe to the Post Office’s free “Informed Delivery” service. Tracking # showed up there on Monday when it was mailed.

Our packet is on its way – mailed yesterday and due here in Denver on Thursday.
DenBiker replied to the topic Arrival times in Le Mars? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year ago
If it helps – The EXPO (with all sorts of bike related merchandise and info) runs from 12 to 9pm – of course the music will last longer. Sunset in Le Mars is 8:53 and twilight extends for another 1/2 hour. A lot of people do try to get to bed once the daylight recedes. Hnschipper was right on – in the interest of domestic tranquility plan to…[Read more]
DenBiker started the topic Overnight Town "Themes" in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year, 1 month ago
Has anyone got a handle on the themes for each of the overnight towns? It might be just my not getting used to the new format but I can’t find a lot from the towns regarding this. Waterloo has posted and Anamosa has some reference to its 2012 theme (Ride it like you stole it) but there seems little else.

Been noticing a lot of RAGBRAI virgins starting to show up on the FORUM. Resurrecting a couple of threads that got buried in the conversion to the new format. First timers might find them interesting.

Guess I am not loosing it. Checked Waterloo’s page on the RAGBRAI site – entertainment is “The Purple Experience” – purplexperience.com
DenBiker replied to the topic Entertainment in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year, 2 months ago
Seems to me that somewhere I ran across info that Waterloo was planning for a Prince cover band. I may be totally wrong and it may just be a figment of my imagination but at my age that’s all I have anyway!
DenBiker replied to the topic Attendance projections? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year, 2 months ago
I too had been concerned about the effects of wearing masks for an extended time especially in regard to “recycling” my expelled breath. On the surface it seemed likely that it might raise my CO2 levels. However what little research I have done indicates that there is little or no rise in CO2 nor lowering of blood oxygen levels from mask…[Read more]

Both the Day 2 and Day 3 route maps indicate that RAGBRAI overnights at the Dragon Boat Park in downtown Ft Dodge. (Click on either map – it will blow up and expose daily details.)
DenBiker replied to the topic 2021 Milage? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year, 3 months ago
Yes I was comparing to the original route but it looks like I was not the only one. Quoting from the announcement that 2021 is a “GO”,
“The 2021 route starts in Le Mars with overnight stops in Sac City, Fort Dodge, Iowa Falls, Waterloo, Anamosa, DeWitt before ending in Clinton. Sac City and DeWitt will host riders overnight for the first time in…[Read more]

Just added up the daily mileage posted on the new daily routes. I get 453.5 total. Also see that the route shown now misses Rockwell City (one of the meeting towns).

Looks really nice but still some bugs crawling around in there. Threads posted to as recent as 5 days ago are still showing up as though they were last posted to 2+ months ago.

I use “Chrome” as my browser. Like others I have been having access issues on my laptop for days. At first the entire site was unavailable but then little by little pieces of it started showing up but even then only partially. For instance this morning the Forum topic menu finally showed up but when I went to click on a topic the dreaded “down…[Read more]

MORE MILES FOR SURE – We won’t know exactly how much until it gets posted but my best guess (based upon the north/south deviation from the measured route) is that the first leg will add 4 to 6 miles and the second leg will add another 14 to 16 miles. That could easily make it a 70 to 80 mile day for the truly adventurous.

Just read a story from KIWA (a radio station in Spencer) that suggests that Le Mars may be having second thoughts. Quoting from the article, “City officials in Le Mars, which had been tapped as the ride’s starting point, are talking about whether they think hosting this year’s opening night is a good idea, considering the amount of preperation…[Read more]

Glad to hear of others having issues with the new system. Looks like everything transferred to the new system BUT one member of our team wanted to change from a non rider to a weeklong rider and another person wanted to join our team – so far no luck on either account. I too have sent a request for help to info@ragbrai.com. Thus far no answer at all.
